The bad-boy son of a famed tavern-owning family is a spoiled rotten, drug-addled loser who relied on daddy’s connections to get himself out of trouble, a defense attorney seethed yesterday at the murder trial of a bouncer hired at the scion’s pub.

David added that Dorrian had attended expensive private schools and, at age 36, he still lives with his parents in their tony Upper East Side townhouse.

“Uh, yes,” Dorrian replied, fidgeting under harsh questioning at the trial of Littlejohn, who’s accused of abducting, raping and killing young bar patron Imette St. Guillen.

“[Your family] provided help for you whenever you’ve needed help?”

“Yes.”

Under withering cross-examination, Dorrian admitted he did drugs and drank on the job and that his father, Jack — who ran the infamous Dorrian’s Red Hand where “preppy killer” Robert Chambers met Jennifer Levin in 1986 — paid for him to take acting classes at the famed Stella Adler Studio.

“I’ve used cocaine,” Danny admitted.

“Isn’t it a fact that when you drink and use cocaine you get a little violent?” she asked.

“Not really,” he said, noting he had periodically blacked out from a night of hard partying.

Dorrian denied that he pointed the finger at Littlejohn for the February 2006 slaying only after the high-powered attorneys his father hired learned that the bouncer had a lengthy criminal record.

When David steered the questioning toward what happened the night St. Guillen was last seen alive and the investigation that followed, Dorrian repeatedly responded that he couldn’t remember exact details.

But Dorrian — who the day before said he lied when he initially told cops he didn’t remember St. Guillen being in the bar — admitted on the stand he had misled detectives when he said Littlejohn and St. Guillen had a fight that “escalated” into a screaming match.

“I told the detectives that [Littlejohn and St. Guillen] were having a conversation and that it escalated . . . By the end of the interrogation it came out as if it were a scream,” Dorrian said.

“By the end of the conversation, they were interrogating me, they [wrote down] she was screaming,” he added. “They just put it down . . . After 25 times of asking me what had happened, I said, ‘Yes, fine, she was screaming.’ They put down screaming.”

David tried to get Dorrian to admit he routinely had sex with female patrons in the bar late at night, but he denied it.

“No,” he said emphatically, adding that he had a girlfriend.

David then asked him if he had sex with St. Guillen, a 24-year-old, sable-eyed beauty, the night she was killed. Dorrian insisted he had not.

When prosecutor Ken Taub later asked Dorrian flat out if he had anything to do with St. Guillen’s death, he replied, “Absolutely not.”

When David asked Dorrian about his interaction with St. Guillen that night at the bar, he recalled that she ordered two rum and Diet Cokes just before closing time and that he asked her to leave.

“I tried to take her drink away from her, yes,” he said.

The medical examiner testified that St. Guillen’s blood alcohol level was a staggering 0.17.
